I chose a track, and tried converting the tags to 2.3 and then to 2.4; neither allowed artwork to be saved. I then converted the track into Apple Lossless, and it DID allow the artwork to be saved. So there's a clue. However, I do have a ton of albums in mp3 format where the artwork was never lost, so I'm still not sure what's going on.

Where would the settings for V1 and V2 tags be located? I've never heard of them before.

Here's another interesting wrinkle that may (or may not) be a clue. When I rip a CD to iTunes and then add the artwork (usually by dragging the artwork from Discogs or Amazon), a small box pops up labeled "Processing..." and underneath that a procession of the album's track names appears. For these albums that the upgrade lost the artwork, if I try to add artwork, one of two things happens. In some cases the artwork doesn't load (and literally nothing happens). For others, the "Processing..." box appears, but the procession of album track names does not appear. It ends with the artwork correctly being attached to the album in iTunes. Very strange.

Yes, RIP. A big chunk of my childhood is now gone. I loved Marvel in my tweens, and didn't understand why comic books didn't get the respect I thought they deserved. It took a few decades, but that respect eventually came. Business and money don’t breed warm feelings. While I can understand why Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, etc., may have felt cheated, well, that's business. In many respects, Stan was like Steve Jobs: it was ultimately his concept, and he got it done. Marvel was, IMHO, a helluva lot better than DC: in story lines, humanity, artwork, humor, and so much else. I was very fortunate to have been "into" Marvel in the late '60's, when their books were infused with the spirit of that time: the artwork and layouts were poppier, the writing more philosophical. Some of my favorites were Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer and The Watcher. All very strange characters, and ones you wouldn't expect in superhero comic books. Yes, it was a great time, brought to you by a kid from the outer boroughs of NYC. RIP.

One problem may be that my iMac is aging: it's powerful, but it's a late 2013 model. It's odd that others aren't reporting what I'm experiencing (based on a web search). I'm only hoping that Apple corrects whatever's going on in a future Mojave update. Still, I remind myself that not having album art on a small percentage of my albums isn't the end of the world.

Nope and nope. I have no WAV files, and I’ve looked - they’re not read-only.

At least that means Mosaic will be around until March 2019.

Chuck once posted here that many of these sessions were artist-produced. In those cases, I'd think any outtakes/alternates would be in the possession of the artists.

My guess is that the shorter one's for 45s, the longer one for LPs. Since 45s were mono until the late '60's, it concurs with what you wrote. Available on this:

Happy birthday, GA!

What's interesting is that, on those albums with (now) no cover art, iTunes is not allowing me to add cover art - covers remain blank. But if I add new albums to iTunes, I can easily add cover art.

The listing Steve mentioned: https://www.amazon.de/ART-KANE-HARLEM-1958-Trade/dp/8894366626/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1541361515&sr=8-10&keywords=art+kane

There's a review of Maxine's book in this weekend's Wall Street Journal.

Weird, if the book is to be published on November 12, that it’s not yet listed on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

There's an article in today's Wall St Journal, written by Marc Myers, about a new book. I can't reprint the entire article, but here's the important points: To commemorate the photo’s 60th anniversary, Wall of Sound Editions will publish “Art Kane: Harlem 1958” on Nov. 12. The 168-page book includes essays by Jonathan Kane, the late photographer’s son and archive executor; saxophonist Benny Golson, one of the photo’s two surviving jazz musicians; and an oral history by Art Kane from the 1994 documentary. The book features for the first time Kane’s 70-plus outtakes from the shoot, along with six contact sheets. The never-before-seen images of jazz musicians milling about reveal that Kane used two locations on East 126th Street—one on the stoop of No. 52 and the other at No. 17, a block and a half apart. Ultimately, the image from No. 17, with a more interesting architectural backdrop, was chosen for Esquire’s centerfold. Why Kane moved from one stoop to the other and how he kept all the musicians together remains a mystery. Included in the book are images taken that day by jazz bassist Milt Hinton, who had brought along his camera. His photographs provide lively images of Kane and Esquire graphics editor Robert Benton trying to manage the chaos from across the street.

There was a batch of Tal Farlow boxes released by Mosaic in Europe that incorrectly stated on the spine Tal Farlow Concert Band. I have one of them.

I love the dates with Ray Barretto, and the ones with BJP (or Baby Face) and Grant Green.

Absolutely!

Meanwhile, there were only 13 Download Series releases, but 4 of them were pre-1971: DLS2 (1/18/70), DLS6 (3/17/68), DLS Family Dog (2/4/70), and DLS12 (4/17/69). On a separate note, does anyone know how one can acquire the two Road Trips Full Show downloads? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_Trips_Full_Show:_Spectrum_11/5/79 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_Trips_Full_Show:_Spectrum_11/6/79

Only 3 of the 28 Dave's Picks volumes are pre-1971: DP6 (12/20/69, 2/2/70), DP10 (12/12/69), and DP19 (1/23/70, 1/24/70). Note, too, that the most recent of these was released more than two years ago.

They're probably saving a 1968 live show for the 50th anniversary issue of Aoxomoxoa. Ditto a 1969 show for Live Dead.

My hunch is that the # of pre-1972 concerts in their vault is pretty minimal. If they did have some, they'd be saved for wider release than a Dave's Picks.

Thanks for the heads-up, Kate. I've been feeling the same sort of fatigue. I think I will skip this subscription; if I get the itch, I can always download some Download Series or Europe 72 dates I don't already have.
